Notes
for JOHN D. CHISHOLM:
John
Chisholm was involved in the Blount Conspiracy in which the Gov. of Tennessee
was plotting to conquer Florida from the Spanish and turn
it into
a new colony. Chisholm was closely involved and there are many papers
documenting his activities. Chisholm states in a deposition that
his
father was living in Charleston at the time of the American Revolution,
but no clear records have been found about Chisholms parents or origins.
I suspect
he was born in Scotland and his father was in the colonies briefly. In
the "life of William Blount" by Marcus J. Wright, page 66, is given
a copy
of the sworn testimony of the impeachment of William Blount before the
U. S. Senate. We copy the following:
"This
was to be sent to England to the British Ministry there and to whom from
the Ministry, if it arrived at Philedelphia, was to be sent to Knoxville,
to Captain
Chisholm, or, if he was not there, to Ig. Chisholm, the Captain's son."
We quote
further:
"Chisholm
(the Captain) tried to get Brown, who is the brother of his Indian wife,
to go with him to England."
This
settles by sworn testimony at the time, two facts:
First:
That Ig. (Ignatius) Chisholm was the son of Captain John Chisholm;
Second:
That in 1797 Captain John Chisholm had an Indian wife whose father's name
was Brown.

5. JESSE CHISHOLM (IGNATIUS, JOHN D.) was born in East Tennessee, USA., and died March 04, 1868. He married (2) NANNIE BOWLES. He married (3) ELIZABETH EDWARDS 1836, daughter of JAMES EDWARDS. He married (4) SAH-KAH-KEE MCQUEEN 1847.
Notes for ELIZABETH EDWARDS:
James Edwards married a Creek
Indian and had at least two daughters:
Eliza, who married Jesse Chisholm
, and Lucinda. Lucinda, born in 1823,
developed quite a business
instinct and was a trader to a certain degree;
it seems that she bought a
negro slave named Sambo from her brother-in-law
at one time. Elizabeth Edwards
and Jesse Chisholm were married about 1836
and lived with James Edwards
for some time as Jesse was busy with his
trading expeditions, peace
journeys and as a guide. As a peacemaker and
pathfinder, he was an expert.
Jesse Chisholm and his wife, Eliza Edwards
Chisholm had two sons: one,
Frank, familiarly known as Jepee, who was on
the Great Exodus and spent
part of the time of the Civil War with his
father at the Arkansas River
on the Chisholm Creek, now in the town of
Wichita. He returned to the
Indian Country during the Civil War, drifted
west, and has never been heard
of since. He left no issue.
